It's rather difficult to critique a theory that morphs into something else before one's eyes.

That would include all of science. Consider heliocentrism. Firs it included epicycles, then elliptical orbits, then universal gravitation, then general relativity. And it's not done yet.

Evolution is a forensic statement about the history of life, and it is a collection of phenomena and processes comprising a theory to explain the history. Few scientific theories have undergone less fundamental changes in the last 150 years than variation and natural selection.

"less change"? You mean the discovery of DNA and viruses meant nothing?

We now know you didn't get all your genes from your ancestors ~ or even from mutations.
